1 Step by step we will follow Jesus,
Follow with faith sublime,
Anywhere that his love may lead us,
Just one step at a time.

Refrain:
Step by step, step by step,
Zion’s hill we will climb;
We will march to the golden portals,
Just one step at a time.

2 We but live for a single moment,
Higher and higher climb,
Nearing daily the heav’nly portals,
Just one step at a time. [Refrain]

3 Slowly, slowly we journey onward,
Up to the fairer clime,
Walking thither in faith and gladness,
Just one step at a time. [Refrain]
